You're listening to the co-main event podcast.

And now your host, Ben Folks and Chad Dundas.

That's right.

You're listening to another episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast. I'm Chad Dundas. That's Ben Folks. We're both longtime MMA journalists and for nearly the last nine years. We've been meeting here every week to break down all the action in the wild, weird, and occasionally wonderful world of mixed martial arts.

Ben, we got an absolutely jam-packed show again this week.

The trillers trilled seemingly in some manner of alternate universe on Saturday night,

as Zane Paul defeated Ben Ascran via first round knockout in the main event of

whatever they had going on over there. The UFC did its usual thing with Bobby

Knuckles potentially reestablishing himself as the number one contender for Israel

Adasania with unanimous decision over Kelvin Gasolum and what was a pretty good fight.

Bellator happened.

We've got UFC 21 coming up this weekend, including a live fight watch party going down

that night for patrons of the co-main event podcast.

It's going to be a triller-style show this week, man, just like a variety program we got going here.

We got a lot of listener mail, so we're going to do a mostly all questions considered episode this week.

We're going to try to answer as much of that listener mail as we can.

And then in the last part of the show, maybe we'll

go off on our own a bit and do some UFC 261 prep. But to start off, just so, just so we don't

bury the lead here, tell the people about your Saturday night, man. Things did not go as planned

for you, I understand. Yeah. Things took an unusual turn, you might even say.

Saturday night, I was up at a friend's house watching some triller, because people

hear about the triller thing and they actually want to see it.
